Deaton Survives
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Rodney Deaton was in late position and staring at an all-in bet from an opponent in the blinds. The board read QxQx5x, there was about 70,000 in the pot, and Deaton only had 23,000 left. He placed it in the middle.
Rodney Deaton: 4x4x 
Opponent: 9x9x
Deaton got up to leave, but the dealer delivered a 4x right away. The Jx confirmed his double on the river.
